"My love, I know it is frustrating. But first of all, it is known that Corwin's body is missing. We need not tell anyone we are looking for him to be alive. Also, I am not without discreet connections. For now, we keep our eyes and ears open to any indications of his whereabouts. I doubt he has left the island, if he is alive, since he needs time to heal, as you say. We will find him."

Julian sighs heavily.

"Would Brand contact you if he is with Corwin?"
